One thing Loken hasn't particularly paid attention to, even though he's been very right, is common sense. Among many players, also the yeet-me-into-your-faction friends, or whatever term that you would like to use, there appears to be a fair share of hypocrites lacking basic reasoning.
From my perspective, spending more than 3-4 minutes chasing someone in that environment isn't worth it. That player has already escaped. Let's remember, it's just a game, and many seem to forget that. I can say the same for the one evading in-game death. Sure, some consequences can be imposed, but is it really worth allowing all this toxicity to dominate every discussion thread these days?
Everyone that I've shown this mod to made fun out of it, saying how "serious" everyone in here is.
Isn't it ironic how discussions are now taking place, while players have been avoiding interactions for ages using nonsensical machinery like infinite Jump Drives, and many more tools at their disposal? Players have always avoided interactions that wouldn't benefit them (because they'd die, I guess?). Jayce said something really realistic, I'll quote.

You can apply this to anything game-related in here.
People here consider it a personal attack if you merely log into the game. What else can I say? Same people hold their grudges for decades for whatever reason, waiting for someone to make a word on the forum to bite them, to "look cool."
True growth comes not in mastering the pixels on a screen but in mastering the art of maturity.
I am not justifying either of those players. I don't care. The more people leave, the more closed the community gets, and the more toxicity is created. Obviously, many enjoy this sort of environment.
